I Forget Where We Were, A Review

I first discovered Ben Howard last year when I heard his song Old Pine. I was immediately drawn to his beautiful slightly raspy voice and his gripping lyrics. I was extremely excited when I read that he was going to be releasing a new album this year, I had been patiently listening to Every Kingdom,Continue reading “I Forget Where We Were, A Review”

The Year of Music and Mountains

2014, the year of music and mountains. When the lineup for the Britt Festival came out earlier that year I could barely contain my excitement. This was the first time there was more than just one act that I was excited about and I was determined to see as many shows as I could afford.Continue reading “The Year of Music and Mountains”

What I’m Listening To

I recently came up with the idea to add a new “section” to this blog. Every month I hope to post about the music that I’m currently listening to, and hopefully I’ll be able to spread the word about different musical acts that you may not have heard of. This month I would like toContinue reading “What I’m Listening To”

Arctic Monkeys… aka My New Favorite Band

First off let me say that I am aware that AM came out quite a few months ago and for many loyal Arctic Monkey fans the songs have been ingrained into their minds, hearts, and even skin.

The Wedding Crashers OR Excuse Me While I Go Throw Up

I watched the Wedding Crashers with my friend Emalie while we were in Ireland in April, and afterwards I told myself that I should write something about it when I got home… of course, life got in the way so I’m only now sitting down to talk about this film, for lack of a betterContinue reading “The Wedding Crashers OR Excuse Me While I Go Throw Up”

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou… a zombie?

Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies, all of these supernatural beings have become more popular over the past few years. The reason? No one is really positive, but we do enjoy creating as many stories around them as possible. For example, the new Zombie comedy, Warm Bodies. Warm Bodies was released earlier this year, collecting over $20Continue reading “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou… a zombie?”

Northwest Youth Corps

Being an introvert I’ve never done particularly well with stepping out of my comfort zone. I usually end up backing out at the last second or refuse to give an experience the chance it deserves. Last summer I took a giant step out of my small comfort zone and signed up for the Northwest YouthContinue reading “Northwest Youth Corps”

Screaming for joy

So I’m taking a leaf out of John Green’s book for this post. He recently shared this video of this man who was trekking across Antarctica and had left himself caches of food and supplies at certain points through his journey. This traveler, Aleksander Gamme, has lost nearly 40 pounds and can’t remember what heContinue reading “Screaming for joy”
